Dear Friend,

For donkeys condemned to the tourism industry, there are no holidays.

Most of their long days will be spent hauling tourists in the often scorching
heat— their exhausted legs nearly buckling under the load, their abscessed hooves
aching with each agonizing step. Sometimes, their owners leave them so hungry that they resort to scavenging
food from garbage cans, all the while steering clear of cruel humans who might
beat them, throw rocks at them, or even slash them with razor blades.

Friend, will you please help end the suffering of
donkeys and other animals by donating today? To have the greatest possible impact, we
need to hear from 1,000 people by May 18.

A PETA Asia investigation revealed the misery and abuse that donkeys faced when
they were forced to carry visitors in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan; on the
Greek island of Santorini; or at other tourist sites. Most of these gentle,
sensitive animals are denied proper food, water, rest, and even the most basic
care—but rather than providing treatment for donkeys' painful, fly-infested
wounds and other ailments, owners often use violence to make them keep working despite their pain.

One donkey in Petra was seen being beaten in the head 14 times with a heavy, sharp object,
nearly amputating his right ear. There's no telling what his fate might have
been were it not for the 80 stitches that a PETA Asia veterinarian used to save
the ear and sew up his severe facial injuries. And other malnourished donkeys,
stricken with colic after eating plastic from trash cans, would surely have died
if they hadn't received emergency surgeries at PETA Asia's clinic.

Help change the lives of donkeys and other animals in need by donating $3 or more to PETA
today.

While lockdowns may have brought tourism to a temporary standstill, donkeys'
suffering hasn't ended—and PETA's determined to prevent a return to "business as
usual" when global travel resumes.

Despite the many challenges of working during the pandemic, PETA Asia's team is
still active in Jordan, treating and feeding hundreds of hungry, injured, and
overworked animals and providing crucial humane education to help instill respect and compassion in
animal owners. Through creative advertising, petitions, celebrity support, and
costumed demonstrations at embassies, PETA and our affiliates are keeping
pressure on government agencies to end donkey rides and replace the miserable
animals with cruelty-free and eco-friendly electric vehicles. And our exposés
and online resources are inspiring the public to embrace fun, safe, and humane
travel activities.

PETA can't let up until every one of these donkeys can live free from suffering,
abuse, and hard labor!

Your gift, even if it's just $3, will strengthen our campaigns to stop donkeys' misery and promote
compassion for all beings. Please don't wait—we only have until midnight on May 18 to reach our goal of
1,000 gifts for donkeys.
